Get the “bits” of a float in Python?

Question

I am looking for the Python equivalent of Java\'s Float.floatToBits.

I found this Python: obtain & manipulate (as integers) bit patterns of floats

Answer 1

>>> import ctypes
>>> f = ctypes.c_float(173.3125)
>>> ctypes.c_int.from_address(ctypes.addressof(f)).value
